sadhna for beginners (7)

[Guest guest]

Now let us come to the last part of our lessons…i.e.Dhyan.

 

What is Dhyana ? Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, in fact, sum-up the

whole of Yoga in his one sentence. "Yoga-shch.. vritti

nirudhhah"

 

Stopping of all vrittis is Yoga..thus says Patanjali.

Patanjali was a great scientist of Indian philosophy. He wrote his

sutra thousands of years ago….and no one else could produce,

after him such a scientific and logical explanation of Ashtang Yoga.

 

So to gain the Vritti-nirudhham state, we have to first

awake a conscious vritti…make it stronger…and slowly give it

too much concentration that this vritti becomes so strong that it

stops all other vrittis and we are having only one conscious vritti

in the chitta. That is the essential pre-stage to attain the "Vritti-

Nirudhha" state.

 

Karma, Bhakti, Gyan Laya, Dhyana, Nada…all type of yogas and

many of the Tantrik sadhanas…may look different, may contradict

each other in many ways…..their followers may foolishly fight with

each other…..But there is one place where all of them meet….i.e.

Yoga as explained by Patanjali.

 

A bhakta utilizes Naam Sankirtan, dance etc. to please

God….He actually stops all other vrittis and let the vritti of Bhakti

take powerful shape.

 

A karma yogi, keeps all vrittis away and stick on one vrittis

offering all his works to God…

 

A Gyani also rejects all vrittis, and encourages single vritti of

Aham Brahasmi or alike..

 

Nada yogi, keeps only one Vritti of listening to divine sounds

and thus all other vrittis weaken and finally vanish.

 

so all the paths, meet on here….making one Vritti the

strongest and drown into that vritti. The chitta takes shapes of

that vritti and where ever concentration and chetna is fixed,

Kundalini is agitated and prepares to wake up.

 

Kundalini explains, all religions, all paths and all thoughts.

Each and every sadhaka in the world by his own way of meditation, is

knowingly on unknowingly trying to stop his vrittis, thus forcing

Kundalini to awake.

 

Even a scientist, when has got a single vritti and has stopped

other v rittis, which he does when he deeply drowns into the project

he is undergoing, he unknowingly taps the ultimate source of

knowledge and power….i.e.Kundalini. And the Kundalini replies to

the scientist too.

 

All of us are aware of the miraculous finding of Radium by Mme

Marie Curie how she got the solution to her chemical equation from no-

where. The inventor of sewing machine too was not getting a way out

regarding how to keep the thread in needle so that it sews….so he

thought and thought…but no solution came to his mind…and he

slept with the worry and immediately saw the dream that a demon is

attacking him with a spear which had a hole on the head and a rope

was tied on that hole…..the inventor immediately woke and wrote down

his dream and next day, his sewing machine worked when he put the

thread on the head of the needle.

 

This is Kundalini which replies to all our

querries….this is Kundalini who gives us power to put our thoughts

into action…..and his Kundalini which takes us to the enlightenment.

All paths, all religions, all sects are unknowingly tapping this

ultimate source of knowledge, wisdom and energy.

 

So Dhyana is the preparation for the pre-stage of "Vritti

Nirudhham". We have our consciousness focused on one thought and

slowly make it stronger by drowing into this thought and making it

stronger and stronger….so much so that this strong vritti takes

too much of our resources of energy…thus blocking all other

vrittis…..this is the simplest explanation of Dhyana.

 

For Dhyana chose a place where you are sure no one will disturb

you.. …because if suddenly awakened from Dhayana, it may lead to

some complications. The room should be small….dimly lit with no

external disturbances like telephone, bell etc. sit in a comfortable

posture, put some oil soaked cotton in your ears to avoid disturbing

external sounds…

 

Kriya 1 & 2, are excellent for Dhyana. When sufficient

mastery has been achieved in those Kriya….and if we continue

doing

those Kriyas….these Kriyas will slowly change into Dhyana itself,

without any conscious effort. For others another Dhyana will be very

beneficial........(rest in next)
